Today was filled with pretzels and chocolate at school. Why, you ask?
We built beaver lodges. :) And they were yummy.
After my last couple of posts I thought it would be good to post what the Lord showed me last night in devotions. I needed it... and some of you may, too.
This is as if Jesus is talking to you:
Accept each day exactly as it comes to you. By that, I mean not only the circumstances of your day but also the condition of your body. Your assignment is to trust Me absolutely, resting in My sovereignty and faithfulness.
On some days, your circumstances and your physical condition feel out of balance: The demands on you seem greater than your strength. Days like that present a choice between two alternatives -- giving up or relying on Me. Even if you wrongly choose the first alternative, I will not reject you. You can turn to Me at any point, and I will help you crawl out of the mire of discouragement. I will infuse My strength into you moment by moment, giving you all that you need for this day. Trust Me, by relying on My empowering Presence.

Psalm 42:5
Why are you in despair, O my soul? And why have you become disturbed within me? Hope in God, for I shall again praise Him for the help of His presence.
Jeremiah 31:25
For I satisfy the weary ones and refresh everyone who languishes.

How did you know I needed that? I'm so glad God works like that and confirms he knows right where we are and is hugging us really tight.
